What started as a furnishings-only project quickly escalated to what designer Cynthia Rojas \u201cwould almost call a renovation.\u201d When the designer, founder of Minty Synth Interiors<\/a>, based out of Dallas, Texas, first sat down with her clients-to-be, she presented schemes filled with new light fixtures, different paint colors, and various wallpapers\u2014you know, the essentials. \u201cThis got the client so excited, he asked for a completely re-imagined fireplace, an unrecognizable powder bath, and a \u2018facelift\u2019 for the kitchen,\u201d Rojas tells House Beautiful. The next thing she knew, two years had passed, and her clients were living in a completely different home.<\/p>\n

The kitchen is what really started the need for an update, and it\u2019s now one of Rojas\u2019s favorite rooms in the home. Thankfully, it wasn\u2019t necessary to completely demolish the all-white cook space, so Rojas pulled what she could from the existing kitchen and recycled it elsewhere in the home. The old light fixtures above the island were replaced with more modern ones, and the cabinets got moved from the main area to the refreshed butler\u2019s pantry,<\/a> which houses the coffee machine, fresh produce, and extra water bottles.<\/p>\n

The fireplace in the formal living room was another sore point for the homeowners\u2014built-in bookshelves flanking the hearth were despised by the client. \u201cHe wanted a clean look, and something he didn\u2019t have to fill with meaningless objects and clutter,\u201d the designer explains. It took a few iterations, but Rojas presented an asymmetrical, terrazzo-covered fireplace surround that filled the client\u2019s face with excitement. It\u2019s safe to say that design made it past the initial renderings.<\/p>\n

My experience with this house was terrifying at times, but it provided me with so many growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

Though not everything happened as smoothly as it did when presenting her ideas to her clients. \u201cWe fired a total of four contractors<\/a> in the time we worked on this project,\u201d she says. She and her team tried a lot of new techniques for this design, such as the terrazzo fireplace detail and a custom, statement-making marble dining table.<\/p>\n

However, things happen for a reason, and the finished home proves that sometimes tough decisions lead to wonderful results. The clients\u2019 joy was proof enough that they made all the right choices.<\/p>\n

FAST FACTS

Designer: Cynthia Rojas of Minty Synth Interiors<\/a><\/p>\n

Location: Dallas, Texas<\/p>\n

The Space: A 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom contemporary European revival style home built in 2021.<\/p>\n

FAMILY ROOM<\/p>\n

The \u201cBubblegum Room,\u201d as it’s affectionately known, boasts a pink ceiling. <\/p>\n

Ceiling paint: Oleander, Sherwin-Williams. Pendant: Herman Miller.<\/p>\n

The biggest splurge item in the entire house was this deep green, B&B Italia sofa. It\u2019s cozy but playful, making it the perfect addition to the main lounge, where the clients and their dog watch TV, listen to music, and relax.<\/p>\n

FORMAL LIVING ROOM<\/p>\n

Removing the built-in shelves on either side of the fireplace breathed new life into the formal living room. Rojas transformed it to be more contemporary, choosing an asymmetrical design covered in terrazzo, handmade with a mix of mocha, pink, and Carrara marble chips.<\/p>\n

To match the blush tones, the designer picked out a rosy-taupe velvet sofa, a sage-and-pink checkered Eames chair, and a beige wool rug; the different woods from the oak beams and hardwood flooring add to the warmth. \u201cThe sage chairs introduced a complementary color to all the shades of pink in the room, and they allowed us to really play with the funky art from our client\u2019s collection,\u201d Rojas says.<\/p>\n

KITCHEN<\/p>\n

Tall cabinets flanking the range hide countertop appliances.<\/p>\n

Island tile: Clay Imports. Bar stools: De La Espada. Lights in alcove: Etsy.<\/p>\n

The kitchen\u2019s facelift transformed it from an inoffensive white space to a bold and moody cooking lounge. The redesign included replacing the old tile backsplash with a quartzite slab that matches the new countertops, adding a built-in shelf, and replacing the light fixtures with new pendants from Allied Maker. The tile-covered island provides depth to the space, both in color and in the light reflection. It\u2019s luxe and daring but easy on the eye, Rojas explains.<\/p>\n

DINING ROOM<\/p>\n

Sheer drapery creates a romantic backdrop for dining.<\/p>\n

Visible from the main entry, the dining room serves as a glimpse of what\u2019s to come in the rest of the home. The curtain-filtered natural light provides a soft glow, highlighting the veining in the custom marble dining table. \u201cFrom the beginning, we were intentional about creating one unforgettable moment in each room, and this [table] was it,\u201d Rojas says.<\/p>\n

Her clients wanted a table that could sit at least eight, so they had to go through a few iterations due to the spatial restraints and the fact that they had a single slab to work with before coming to this design. \u201cIn collaboration with the fabricator and the client, we landed on an oval silhouette with sculptural, organic legs that gently form a yin and yang. It\u2019s a subtle nod to balance, movement, and connection,\u201d Rojas adds. \u201cThe Lindsey Adelman chandelier was the cherry on top.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary bedroom was made to feel like a stay in a beautifully designed hotel that doesn\u2019t really feel like a hotel, but more like a home,\u201d Rojas says. Custom pieces, like the headboard and bed frame, give it a unique touch, while carefully curated accessories feel warm and welcoming.<\/p>\n

DRESSING ROOM<\/p>\n

A custom white oak desk anchors the versatile space.<\/p>\n
